a collection of compromised machines infested with malware like keystroke loggers, Trojan horses or back doors
a collection of computers that have been hijacked by malicious hackers and controlled remotely via IRC (Inter Relay Chat) channels
a collection of hacked computers at the disposal of a hacker without the owner's knowledge
a collection of - usually - Windows-based PCs that have been stealthily taken over by malware
a collective of hacked computers, capable of performing the, "owners" tasks in massive parallel operations
a group or network of computers controlled by a bot master or bot herder
a large collection of compromised computers (bots) which are controlled by a very small number of remote computers
an army of bots, or a bot network, and a bot virus-infected computer is called a zombie
a network of compromised computers that can be remotely controlled by an attacker
a network of computers that are infected with malware and then used to send spam and shut down Web sites ( DDoS )
a network of computers that are remotely controlled for usually malicious activities, such as spamming or spyware distribution
a network of cracked machines running programs (worms, Trojan horses, or backdoors) under a common command and control infrastructure
a network of IRC bots that communicate with one another
a network of ro"bots" whose "members" consist of large numbers (hundreds of thousands) of personal computers that collectively provide massive amounts of computing power to their "commanders"
a network of such robot, or "zombie," computers that can harness their collective power to do considerable damage or send out huge amounts of junk e-mail
a network of Windows machines that have been compromised by a malicious hacker by exploiting security bugs in Microsoft's operating system
a network of zombie computers -- thousands surreptitiously are infected with code that allows an unauthorized user to control them via the Internet
A type of Remote Control Software, specifically a collection of software robots, or “botsâ€, which run autonomously. A botnet's originator can control the group remotely. The botnet is usually a collection of zombie machines running programs (worms, trojans, etc.) under a common command and control infrastructure on public or private networks. Botnets have been used for sending spam remotely, installing more spyware without consent, and other illicit purposes.
A Botnet is a collection of machines infected with bots.
A network of compromised machines that can be remotely controlled by a hacker. Multiple bots joined together can be used to send spam or to launch Denial of Service attacks. Page top
A botnet is a network of bots installed on multiple computers, each running identical malware. A botnet can be controlled remotely via an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) server or a peer-to-peer application.
A collection of zombie PCs is called a botnet (short for a “robot networkâ€). A botnet can consist of tens or even hundreds of thousands of zombie computers. A single PC in a botnet can automatically send thousands of spam messages per day. The most common spam messages come from zombie computers
A network of Bots. A Bot, or Zombie, is a computer that has been infected with malware that allows a remote malicious user access to the computer. With that remote access, the malicious user can control and harness the power of all such Bots into a powerful network used for criminal activity.
A network of zombies that can be controlled by the attacker from a central location. The creator of a botnet may rent it out to spammers, people who want to launch a DDoS attack, and so forth.
To understand the concept of BotNet it is first necessary to understand the term " Bot" as used here. A cracker will create networks of such machines most often controlled by one or more servers with control often being executed via IRC (Internet Relay Chat). BotNets can be used for a number of purposes such as sending spam and attacking other networks via a denial of service attack.
Botnet is a jargon term for a collection of software robots, or bots, which run autonomously. This can also refer to the network of computers using distributed computing software.
